UNSPSC 50337013: Dried organic hackberries

The type of organic fruit known as organic hackberries that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50337013 Dried organic hackberries is a Commodity code that describes dried fruit products purchased by state and local governments for food service and nutrition programs. The recent solicitation activity under this code, however, shows minimal direct procurement of dried hackberries specifically; instead, state and local buyers are acquiring broader categories of dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce to support school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all soliciting food supply contracts. A state correctional system (Texas Department of Criminal Justice) and county detention facility (Santa Clara County, California) also appear as buyers. The geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, California, Connecticut, and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27, an IFB with a June 26, 2026 response date seeking over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with delivery to three school locations; Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bids ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, posted January 28, 2026 with a February 5, 2026 due date, for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) to supply a correctional facility on an all-or-none basis with an estimated 5,880 cases of raisins and 1,000 cases each of cranberries and tropical fruit mix annually; and Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services, an RFP posted March 31, 2026 with an April 29, 2026 deadline encompassing over 900 line items across multiple food categories to serve approximately 6,900 lunch participants and 900 breakfast participants daily. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed products appear consistently across school district solicitations. No recent opportunities explicitly named dried hackberries as a line item, indicating the code may be underutilized or misclassified in actual state and local procurement activity.
